On 25 July 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from Kenya’s water and sanitation sector to our headquarters in Putzbrunn, Germany. The visit was part of the Fachseminar “(Ab-)Wassertechnologien und Umwelttechnik in Bayern,” organized by bbw International, and focused on knowledge exchange in the field of sustainable wastewater treatment and environmental technology.
The delegation included professionals from technical, operational, and leadership levels across Kenya’s water sector. Their visit centered on exploring energy-efficient, decentralized, and scalable wastewater treatment systems — solutions that are critical in managing the growing demands of urban and peri-urban infrastructure in East Africa.
At Bioworks Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, we shared our experience in planning and implementing customized wastewater treatment plants for municipalities and industries. Our guests showed strong interest in how our technologies could be adapted to the specific needs and climate conditions in Kenya.
Topics we explored together included:
- Designing future-proof wastewater treatment plants for fast-growing cities
- Enhancing the performance of overloaded lagoon systems
- Applying extended aeration and MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) technology for higher energy efficiency
- Utilizing floating aeration systems for decentralized lagoon treatment
The discussions were dynamic and solution-oriented. Our visitors highlighted their operational challenges, and we demonstrated how Bioworks systems can offer low-maintenance, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions that meet both present and future needs.
We’re thankful for the open dialogue and meaningful engagement with the Kenyan delegation and extend our appreciation to bbw International for coordinating this important exchange. We're committed to supporting international cooperation and look forward to developing long-term partnerships that strengthen wastewater infrastructure in Africa.
